I don’t think the scale for entropy goes to infinity.
I drank that koolaid long ago too. And it wasn’t easy bursting my little bubble of belief in it.
I started observing James before he came here and watched him debate relativity with Carleas for a very long time. He had made a convincing argument long before that which destroyed my faith in the big bang theory. I think that was on a Catholic site as well as others. So when it came to his objections to relativity, I was willing to listen carefully.
What James eventually revealed to those who followed along was that relativity is just a shortcut maths method for making the necessary calculations involved in things that move extremely fast or are in an extreme gravity situation. If you pretend in your mind that space bends and time distorts, you can calculate what is going to actually happen easier than trying to work through all of the more complicated details of what is actually going on (which he also eventually explained at this site). But the space bending method doesn’t always work because it is really only a metaphorical representation of the reality and thus has limits.
When it comes to the entire universe, relativity doesn’t seem to actually mean anything. The universe represents an extreme dispersion of mass and gravity, not at all dense. And then “moving relative to what?” The whole relativity bubble pops into nothing but a pocket calculator for nuclear physicists working with extremely tiny things that move extremely fast relative to other things. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with actual physical reality.
I think of people having what I cal “bubbles of belief”. With that thought I can better understand and predict people’s behavior. It is easier than neuroscience. But that doesn’t mean that people literally have little bubbles in their brains. It is just a metaphor or analogy for predicting some kinds of behavior.
So I am still quite confident that
Creation is on ongoing, eternal process that never began and can never end.
